Donating instead of gift-giving

Letting special occasions benefit good causes

There are special occasions in life when we share moments of joy or sadness with others, be it friends, family or clients. Instead of asking for presents or flowers, you can make the occasion even more meaningful by asking your guests to donate to special projects at the University of Münster. In this way, you can make a long-term contribution to promoting the development of our society through research and education.

Endowments and bequests

Providing long-term support to a meaningful cause

By creating an endowment, you support the University of Münster Foundation as a whole. With a fund or trust, you can provide targeted funding for a project or research area which is especially important to you. The amount of your donation never diminishes; all funding projects and measures are financed exclusively from the returns on the foundation capital of the fund or trust. If you wish to ensure that your inheritance has a long-lasting impact, the University of Münster Foundation is the right address. Your endowment can shape the future and support generations to come – in your lifetime and beyond.

Business cooperation and sponsoring

Shaping progress together

We are looking for strong corporate partners who can join us in shaping the progress of society – for example, by supporting science and financing training programmes for junior researchers.
If you wish to introduce yourself to students at the University and recruit talented young academics for your company, we would be happy to help you find suitable projects and events. Through advertising, event sponsoring or longer-term business cooperation, you can generate attention and enhance your reputation at the University of Münster.
